A leaf, a piece of bark, an ant: your students observe, photograph, and compare what they find. The kit comes ready to use, complete with activity cards and a teacher's guide.
With a lab microscope, students take turns, each with their eye pressed against the eyepiece. Here, the image appears on the screen, and the whole group discusses it.
They are detailed in the teacher's guide, along with the instructions to be read to the students. The time estimates are approximate.
Objective: to observe, describe, and compare living organisms.
Objective: To improve observation skills and vocabulary.
Objective: to observe without damaging the subject, to draw from life.
The first classroom sessions yielded these two pieces of feedback, which we are reproducing here verbatim.
“I introduced the Kideo microscope during a unit on living organisms in science class. I didn’t expect such a strong reaction from the students: even the most restless ones were focused and asked relevant questions. We observed leaves, insect wings, pollen… The fact that the image appears on the built-in screen allows the whole class to see it at the same time, which is really convenient for group work. I’ve recommended it to two colleagues since then. It’s a reliable, accessible, and sturdy educational tool.”

"I love this microscope. My students figured out how to use it right away. They can't stop—they're observing everything and marveling at it all. A must-have for any classroom."

Designed with the challenges of an institution in mind.
8 pages to get you started on your first session without any preparation. It is included with every order.
Ages 3 and up. Simply hold down the ON/OFF button for 3 seconds, point the lens at the object, and turn the dial. In preschool, students get the hang of it in a minute; in elementary and middle school, the mission cards and observation sheet allow them to take it a step further (describing, comparing, drawing).
Yes. It's designed to be used by children every day, even outdoors: it features a reinforced silicone case, a screen protector, and a wrist strap to prevent it from falling. Even when passed from hand to hand among different groups of children, it continues to perform well. And if a device has a problem, we'll replace it without asking you to send it back to us.
We recommend one microscope for every 3 or 4 students. The image appears on the screen: the group looks at it together, and each student takes turns holding the microscope. For a class of 25 students, 7 or 8 microscopes are sufficient: the Lot Classe 10 set provides some leeway.
No. The microscope works on its own: no app, no internet connection, and no need to create an account. Photos are saved to its memory and can be viewed directly on the screen.
Yes, and even in real time. Connect the microscope to the computer using a USB-C cable, and then connect the computer to the projector or interactive whiteboard: whatever is shown on the microscope’s screen appears in real time on the whiteboard. The whole class can observe at the same time, using just one microscope. To save the photos and show them later, transfer them to the computer using a micro-SD card.
About 3 hours of continuous use with the screen on. Under normal use, if students remember to turn off the screen between observations, it lasts more than 5 hours. It takes 1 hour and 30 minutes to recharge using the included USB-C cable. The easiest option is to recharge everything the day before the session.
A soft, dry cloth is sufficient for the screen and the lens. The microscope is not waterproof: you can observe a drop of water, but do not submerge it in water.
